Berlin Region History

The cool thing about Berlin is that there is so much to do, and if you're interested in history you could spend a lifetime uncovering little quirky historical gems all around the city.
I lived in Berlin for 3 months, but if you don't even have that long, I recommend at least visiting the areas around Potsdamer Platz, Friedrichstrasse, the Gendarmenmarkt (especially if it's winter and there are Christmas markets!), and the Museumsinsel.

Berlin is located in Northeastern Germany, a few miles from the Polish and Czech borders and on the Havel and Spree Rivers . The city is ideally located to tour castles, historic sites and lovely countryside areas in addition to spending time exploring one of the great capitols of the world. Berlin is one of the most important cities in Europe and is a beautiful city to visit - you can take in a multitude of sites as well as eat well, enjoy the nightlife, eat to your hearts delight and discover the heart of Germany . While you might be interested in visiting Berlin to visit the Berlin Wall or explore old East Germany , you might be disappointed. What remains of the Berlin Wall are stretches of graffiti covered walls that in no way resemble the Weeping Wall in Israel or the Great Wall of China . This great city is the seat of history for Europe - the capitol of Prussia and the headquarters of the Hitler regime (a dubious honor), Berlin is definitely one city you must see when visiting Germany . Whether you are a fan of German culture, a history buff, or a music enthusiast, you need to include Berlin on your itinerary.

Berlin- as a capital city of Germany is a center of culture life(many galleries), entertaining (Love Parade),history (Wall Museum).Must see - Check Point Charlie,Reichstag,Brandenburg Gate...In December you can find on the streets Christmas Markets with handcrafts,souvenirs,wine,sausage,etc

East meets west. A very vibrant city and cultures from all around the world. A must is the shopping centre "Kaufhaus des Westens" and the zoo. For those interested in history check out the "Check point Charlie" and maybe you still find a piece of the wall somewhere. The nightlife offers a wide range for every taste.

a beautiful city, steeped in history with amazing sites and great shopping. Berlin has something for everybody, zoo for the kiddies and a bouncing nightlife. the youth hostles throughout Germany are cheap but good quality and clean, well mostly!
